When the sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner was put on the table, grandpa began to ask: "My dear granddaughter, the new year is here, what are your plans?" This is what grandpa asks every New Year's Eve. topic. "I have a new plan this year, but you have to help me!" I said mysteriously. "What's the matter? As long as it makes sense, we will listen to my dear." Grandma said impatiently. "Okay! Starting tonight, you will start a low-carbon lifestyle like me." Grandpa nodded thoughtfully, "Tell me, what are the specific requirements for us?" I cleared my throat and continued Said: "Our teacher has said that a low-carbon lifestyle means paying attention to energy conservation and consumption reduction in the details of study and life. We cannot avoid emitting carbon dioxide, but we can practice low-carbon life and advocate the same for those around us. Come and join in the low-carbon life.”

“Why am I so ignorant? Please teach me what to do,” grandma said piously. I told my grandma: An ordinary piece of clothing emits carbon dioxide from raw materials to ready-made clothes and finally discarded. Buying one less piece of unnecessary clothing can save 2.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions. In addition, cotton clothes emit less carbon than chemical fiber clothes. Wearing more cotton clothes is also part of a low-carbon life. We should also be frugal in our daily life. Use the daily rice water to water the flowers, and the vegetable washing water to mop the floor and flush the toilet. These are all manifestations of low carbon. Grandma nodded slightly while listening.

As for grandpa, he should eat a low-carb diet in the future. Eat less meat and more vegetarian food. Because the production of 1 kilogram of beef emits 36.5 kilograms of carbon dioxide, while the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by fruits and vegetables is only 1/9 of this value. A low-carb diet also includes moderate drinking. If a person drinks less than 0.5 kilograms of wine a year, he can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 1 kilogram.

"Dad, you read newspapers and read news online all day long, so what should you do to advocate a low-carbon life?" Dad said without thinking: "I have already considered this, computers, lights, Air conditioners and any electrical appliances should be turned off once they are no longer in use; replace all energy-saving lamps at home. I have calculated that if 1.2 billion energy-saving lamps were used nationwide, the electricity saved would be equivalent to the annual power generation of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station; set the TV to medium Brightness not only saves energy but also protects eyesight. With 300 million TVs, just by dimming the brightness, you can save 5 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity every year..."

When talking about low carbon, my father talked endlessly. Absolutely. My mother was not to be outdone: "I drive one less day a month, and each car can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 98 kilograms per year.

I want to actively promote waste recycling in the kindergarten and ask teachers and children to make homemade toys; I also want to plant more flowers and plants so that the children can water them regularly and observe the growth of the plants. The key is that it can also purify the air..."

I succeeded! Listening to my mother’s extension of low-carbon life into her early childhood education work, I couldn’t help but secretly rejoice: As long as we work hard, the world will become a better place!
